Biography of D.P. Hindman, page 146, History of Northeast Indiana; LaGrange, Steuben, Noble, and DeKalb Counties, Vol. II, under the editorial supervision of Ira Ford, Orville Stevens, William H. McEwen and William H. McIntosh. The Lewis Publishing Company, Chicago and New York, 1920. D.P. Hindman. One of the progressive young farmers of DeKalb County is D.P. Hindman, of Concord Township, whose persistent and aggressive efforts and excellent management have brought to him the prosperity which is today his. He has ever stood ready to do what he could in pushing forward the wheels of progress in his community, and is well worthy of the high esteem in which he is held. Mr. Hindman was born in Concord Township on June 16, 1889, the son of Samuel and Nancy (Ledour) Hindman. Both of these parents were natives of Ohio, the former having been born in Logan County and the latter in Hardin County. After their marriage they came to Indiana, locating on a farm near Orangeville, where they remained about twenty years. They then moved to a farm 1 ½ miles north of St. Joe, but about ten years later settled on a farm at Jackson Center. They are the parents of two children, the immediate subject of this sketch and Lee, of Fort Wayne, a dispatcher on the Northern Indiana traction line. D. P. Hindman was reared on the paternal farmstead and received a good district school education. About 1910 he settled on the farm where he now lives in Concord Township, comprising about seventy-four acres of splendid land, to the cultivation of which he gives intelligent direction. He is also part owner of a sawmill at St. Joe. Mr. Hindman has also given some attention to the raising of live stock, in which he has met with splendid success. In 1910 Mr. Hindman was married to Anna M. Kosht, a native of Wilmington Township, in the common schools of which she received a good practical education. To this union have been born three children, Doris, E., aged eight years; Samuel C., four years; and Madonna, six months old. Mr. and Mrs. Hindman are members of the Christian Church of Newville, while Mr. Hindman holds fraternal relations with Concord Lodge No. 556, Free and Accepted Masons; Lodge No. 671 Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and the lodge of Knights of Pythias at St. Joe. Politically he is a democrat and has been an effective worker in the ranks of his party, taking a keen and intelligent interest in the public affairs of his community, state and country. He is a man of broad and progressive views, advocating twentieth-century methods and stand deservedly high in the estimation of the community in which he lives.
